UNITED NATIONS RALLY TO END ALL DRONE ATTACKS, ILLEGAL WARS, ATTACK ON IRAN’S SOVEREIGNTY – 9/25/12

Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Rahim

Dear Brethren, Friends and Colleagues:

The Muslim world is under intense and non-ceasing attack from the Zionists in the USA, Europe and “israel”. Islamophobia is spreading like wildfire and the Arab and Muslim people have become the targets of bigotry at all levels. Drones are being used to massacre innocent Muslims in Afghanistan and Pakistan just as they have in Iraq. We must NOT remain silent to this war crime against humanity and the Muslim Peoples.

All Muslim nations are being targeted for illegal invasion and occupation for the benefit of the Zionist agenda. They want to control the vast treasure of oil in the Arabian Peninsula and to colonize the Muslim Peoples. An attack on Iran is being ramped up at this very moment as a means to accomplish that agenda and we must NOT remain silent.

The Muslims in the USA must NOT be afraid to come out into the streets and protest the war crimes and other abuses taking place. Our silence is a sign of cowardice and a disrespect to ALLAH Himself. ALLAH’s Prophet Muhammad instructed Muslims to speak out against injustice and to defend the religion and Muslims from the attack of enemies. We must NOT sit at home watching in silence while our brethren across the sea are being murdered daily and many Muslims in the USA are also falling victim to Islamophobia.

Now is the time to rise and gather in the streets to proclaim in unity that we have had enough and the drone attacks must end. The war crimes must end, the Islamphobia must stop and the talk of attacking Iran must end.

I strongly urge Muslims in the New York tri-State area to attend the event that has been organized by the Pakistan-USA Freedom Forum on September 25th at 47th Street & First Avenue in New York City. Let us show the world that there are massive numbers of Muslims in the USA who demand, and want to see, the end of hostility, against drone attacks, illegal wars, Islamophobia and any attack on Iran. I remind everyone that the Prophet Muhammad(sws) said that the worst of Muslims were those who stay at home while others are in battle. We have the obligation to speak out against the injustice and I urge all of you to accept the invitation found below this letter and to leave your houses on the 25th of September to join us in front of the United Nations to deliver a clear message that we want the warmongering to stop and peace to prevail.

May ALLAH guide each of you to do what is right. I look forward to seeing many of you on the 25th.

During the period of September 18 to October 1, 2012, heads of states and high level officials from the world over will be gathering in New York to address the 67th session of the U.N. General Assembly.

Pakistan USA Freedom Forum sees this as an ideal time for all peace loving people to send a clear message to the UN and the world and demand:

(1) an end to all drone attacks and illegal wars;

(2) an end to the hypocritical use of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) or other agencies to selectively target countries for political, economic or military attacks.

Drone attacks by the US and its allies, which are increasing in use, have killed many dozens of civilians in recent times in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen and elsewhere. They violate international laws, make it easy to separate the drone operators from the consequences of their actions, and difficult to distinguish civilians from others, and reduce victims to blurry images on a screen far away. Their use greatly contributes to the anger unarmed populations of small, poor countries towards the Western powers that carry out these attacks.

The use of the nuclear issue to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran is hypocritical. Iran is a member of the IAEA and abides by its obligations. In comparison, the state of Israel, is urging its Western allies, especially the USA, to attack Iran on the pretext of crippling its alleged nuclear weapons program. But Israel itself possess a large nuclear weapons program, whose existence is well-known even though Israel has never acknowledged it. And the USA, which also threatens Iran repeatedly, operates the world’s largest nuclear weapons program, and is the only country to have ever used it in an act of war.
